Historical, philosophical and anthropological perspectiveshttps://philevents.org/event/show/68394
Venue: Via Porta di Massa 1<br /><br /><p>The conference will address the question of images from a philosophical and anthropological standpoint, with particular reference to the so-called &ldquo;digital revolution&rdquo;. The aim is to analyse how the introduction of digital technologies reshaped the way images are produced, reproduced, stored, used and perceived, determining a paradigm shift whose effects go way beyond the mere proliferation of images, still a crucial and defining aspect of our era. With the digital turn, images do not simply have another kind of physical support; they rather gain a new ontological status, a new social significance, a new cultural and epistemological value.</p>
<p>In this perspective, the reference to the topic of memory is pivotal, both on the individual/subjective and on the political/infrastructural level. Memory in fact &ndash; understood not only as an individual faculty but also and foremost as a social factor and a cultural heritage &ndash; is the dimension in which the incidence of technological innovation has manifested itself in the most radical way. This is especially true if we consider the potentialities of the new methods of distribution, research, indexing and archiving of images, but is also an essential element if we keep in mind the new dangers introduced by practices that have crucial consequences on the behavioural, physiological and neurological level. For this reason, the attempt to understand the topic of images from an anthropological standpoint is a defining aspect of the conference, as also the focus on the historical-genealogical dimension: the aim is not only to investigate how man modified images, but also and most importantly how images modified and keep modifying man.&nbsp;</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/68394[Today - Tomorrow] Conference or similar: The Legacy of Wittgenstein, Anscombe, & Their Oxbridge Contemporarieshttps://philevents.org/event/show/66902

Venue: 975 S Myrtle Ave<br /><br /><p>Philosophy of Religion unit of welcomes papers broadly focused on the theme of the relationship between religion and the human subject. Recent arguments in philosophy increasingly suggest that every conscious experience involves a &ldquo;minimal&rdquo; sense of self. Understanding selfhood and personal identity has been of main importance to religious traditions, both theologically and in concern for the actual human condition. What are the distinctions and similarities between the two approaches to the self? Is the self &ldquo;self-given,&rdquo; that is, reveals its nature by the simple fact of its presence, or is it constituted by cultural, social, historical intersubjectivity? We call for critical cross-examination of doxastic and evidence-based, philosophical and theological, religious and secularistic perspectives on the self.</p>
<p>The AARWR meeting theme &ldquo;Religion and Resistance&rdquo; also inspires us to ask: What are the dangers to the self, and what kinds of resistance(s) emancipate(s) the human spirit in the current discourse? Defining and describing religious perspectives on selfhood, we welcome both analytic and phenomenological (continental philosophical) inquiries into the status of the self, religious emancipation, violence, moral deliberation, self-transcendence, and the social practices of resistance, as conditions of possibility and necessity of the self&rsquo;s homelike being in the world.</p>
<p>In light of these overarching interests, tentatively and dependent on the contents and number of submissions, we aim at putting together two panels. In the first panel, we would like to answer the questions of foundational ontology of the self, such as, but not limited to, what comprises the essence of selfhood? &nbsp;What philosophically identified parameters (e.g. self-luminosity, self-reflectivity, &ldquo;what it&rsquo;s like to have the self,&rdquo; etc.) apply to religious understanding of the self, and vice versa? On what level, and how, can the self be &ldquo;divided&rdquo; or &ldquo;split&rdquo;, co-opted or healed? What is the role of intersubectivity and the world in self-revelation of the self? &nbsp;In the second panel, we would like to weave the foundational understandings of the self into examinations of its practices, with a particular emphasis on contrasting views concerning the place of resistance in interpersonal and social self-experience. The divergences of accounts of what the self consists of and how it relates to experience of a shared world foster dialogue between the various positions, identifications and clarifications of the points of disagreement, and assessing the relative plausibility of conflicting claims about the nature of the self. Considering the breadth of our central thesis, we also invite papers on the themes not specifically outlined in this call: if you think these contribute to understanding of the relationship between religion and the self, in context of resistance, please send your submission to Dane Sawyer (<a href="mailto:dsawyer@laverne.edu">dsawyer@laverne.edu</a>) and Olga Louchakova-Schwartz (<a href="mailto:olouchakova@gmail.com">olouchakova@gmail.com</a>).</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/65130[ March 7, 2019 - March 10, 2019] Conference or similar: The Faces of Depression in Literaturehttps://philevents.org/event/show/64258

Venue: Fürst-Franz-Josefstraße 19<br /><br /><p><u><strong>Argumentationstraining f&uuml;r Studenten der Philosophie oder der Theologie</strong></u></p>
<p>12. M&auml;rz 2019 - 14. M&auml;rz 2019 an der Internationalen Akademie f&uuml;r Philosophie (IAP) in Mauren im F&uuml;rstentum Liechtenstein. Die Teilnehmer erhalten ein <u>Stipendium,</u> welches die Reise- und Aufenthaltskosten abdeckt.</p>
<p>Die Professoren: Daniel von Wachter (IAP), Joseph Diekemper (Queen&rsquo;s University Belfast)</p>
<p>Diese Veranstaltung ist ein Teil des Projektes <em><a href="http://iap.li/openness/">Die Offenheit des Universums f&uuml;r Willensfreiheit und g&ouml;ttliches Handeln</a></em>. Sie wird von der <a href="http://templeton.org">John Templeton Foundation</a> unterst&uuml;tzt.</p>
<p>Dieses Argumentationstraining will Sie in die Kunst einf&uuml;hren, Antworten auf philosophische und theologische Fragen wissenschaftlich zu verteidigen. An deutschen Universit&auml;ten schreiben Studenten und auch Professoren in der Philosophie oft nur dar&uuml;ber, was andere Autoren geschrieben haben. Das hat seinen Wert und seinen Platz, doch auch heute kann man Antworten auf philosophische Fragen geben, und auch schon Studenten k&ouml;nnen und sollten das &uuml;ben, wie es in der anglophonen Philosophie &uuml;blich ist. In einer Gruppe von 15 Teilnehmern und zwei Professoren werden wir anhand von Fragen &uuml;ber Willensfreiheit und &uuml;ber Wunder (also menschliches und g&ouml;ttliches Handeln) das Beantworten philosophischer und theologischer Fragen und das Argumentieren ein&uuml;ben. Das Argumentationstraining wird auf deutsch und auf englisch abgehalten. Zu den Themen geh&ouml;ren:</p>
<p>Neben Vortr&auml;gen und Diskussionen werden wir, in Anlehnung an die scholastische Disputatio und an die zeitgen&ouml;ssische Philosophie, eine m&uuml;ndliche Disputation mit verteilten Positionen sowie weitere &Uuml;bungen durchf&uuml;hren. Im Anschlu&szlig; an das dreit&auml;gige Treffen wird jeder Teilnehmer auf dem Training aufbauend einen Aufsatz schreiben und diesen in einem einst&uuml;ndigen Einzelgespr&auml;ch (Tutorium) mit einem Professor besprechen, in dem er weitere Verbesserunghinweise erh&auml;lt. Durch dieses Vorgehen werden erhebliche Fortschritte m&ouml;glich sein. Einige Teilnehmer k&ouml;nnen weitere Tutorien erhalten.</p>
<p>Das Ziel der Veranstaltung ist, da&szlig; jeder Teilnehmer die Grundprinzipien des argumentativen Schreibens und Vortragens so weit ein&uuml;bt, da&szlig; er sich durch weitere &Uuml;bung selbst weiter verbessern kann. Der auf dem Workshop trainierte Schreibstil ist derjenige, mit dem man auch Aufs&auml;tze in angels&auml;chsischen philosophischen und theologischen Fachzeitschriften ver&ouml;ffentlichen kann.</p>
<p>Zu den Themen werden geh&ouml;ren:</p>
<ul>
<li>Anleitung zum Schreiben eines argumentativen philosophischen Textes</li>
<li>Was ist ein Argument? Erkenntnistheoretische Grundlagen</li>
<li>Was besagt der Determinismus? Welche Gr&uuml;nde gibt es daf&uuml;r oder dagegen? Welche Rolle spielte er in der Theologie?</li>
<li>Sind Wunder und freie Handlungen Verletzungen der Naturgesetze?</li>
<li>Kompatibilistische Willensfreiheit</li>
<li>Libert&auml;re Willensfreiheit: K&ouml;nnen Personen und Tiere Kausalvorg&auml;nge in Gang setzen?</li>
<li>Wie bewertet man die Indizien f&uuml;r und gegen die Auferstehung Jesu richtig?</li>
<li>G&ouml;ttliches Vorherwissen und menschliche Willensfreiheit</li>
</ul>
<p>F&uuml;r die Teilnahme werden auf Wunsch ECTS-Punkte der IAP vergeben. Da die IAP eine anerkannte Hochschule im europ&auml;ischen Hochschulraum ist, k&ouml;nnen die von ihr vergebenen ECTS-Punkte an jeder anderen Hochschule angerechnet werden.</p>
<p><u><strong>Teilnahme</strong></u></p>
<p>Teilnehmen k&ouml;nnen <u><strong>Studenten</strong></u> (Bachelor oder Master) der <u><strong>Theologie</strong></u> und Studenten der <strong><u>Philosophie.</u></strong> Studenten anderer F&auml;cher k&ouml;nnen sich bewerben, wenn Sie Vorkenntnisse in Philosophie oder Theologie besitzen. Die Teilnehmer erhalten ein <u>Stipendium,</u> welches die Reise- und Aufenthaltskosten sowie die gemeinsamen Mittag- und Abendessen abdeckt. Es werden maximal <u>15 Pl&auml;tze</u> vergeben. Gute Englischkenntnisse sind erforderlich. Keine Zugeh&ouml;rigkeit zu einer bestimmten Religion oder Weltanschauung ist erforderlich, jede Position kann vertreten werden.</p>
<p>Um sich zu <u><strong>bewerben,</strong></u> senden Sie <u><strong>bis 2. Februar 2019</strong></u> an Herrn Roderich Nolte, rnolteATiap.li, folgende Unterlagen:</p>
<ul>
<li>Einen <u>Brief,</u> in dem Sie kurz beschreiben, weshalb Sie an dem Seminar teilnehmen m&ouml;chten</li>
<li><u>Tabellarischen Lebenslauf</u> mit Geburtsdatum und Foto</li>
<li>Falls m&ouml;glich, eine <u>Seminararbeit</u> oder einen anderen Aufsatz, aus dem Ihre Schreib- und Denkfertigkeiten hervorgehen</li>
<li>Geben Sie folgendes an: Das Lesen <u>englischer Texte</u> f&auml;llt mir wenig/etwas/deutlich [das Zutreffende ausw&auml;hlen] schwerer als das Lesen deutscher Texte.</li>

Venue: Unknown<br /><br /><p>Moral norms tell you to keep your promises, respect others, be sincere, and help those in need. But such norms can seem mysterious. What justifies their authority over us? Many philosophers reflecting about this foundational question of ethics have recently turned to metaethical constitutivism for an answer. According to an influential formulation, constitutivism is the view that we can justify the authority of moral norms by showing them to be&nbsp;<em>internal&nbsp;</em>to or constitutive of the nature of action and agency. However, with the rise of interest in constitutivism, skepticism about the project's viability has grown. Moreover, it's not clear exactly how constitutivism should be understood.&nbsp;One can now find Aristotelian, Humean, Kantian, and post-Kantian varieties of constitutivism. This workshop seeks to investigate the nature, varieties, and overall viability of metaethical constitutivism. To do so, it brings together some of the leading voices from these diverse traditions.&nbsp;<br><br>This one day workshop is open to the public and free of charge. However, registration is necessary. Papers will be pre-circulated among participants and should be read in advance. Only a brief summary will be provided during the workshop. &nbsp;To register, please visit the event's website.&nbsp;</p>

Venue: 8 Castle Peak Road<br /><br /><p>A major school of thought that has significant bearings on scientific realism debate is known as structuralism, which, broadly speaking, takes structures as prior to or more significant than objects and their intrinsic qualities. Since the early years of the structuralism debate, modality has occupied a central place in the literature. It has been argued that the structure under scrutiny here is the objective modal structure of the world. Some suggested that such an understanding of modal structure is the most convenient locus for a plausible version of naturalized metaphysics. On this very relation between modality and naturalistic involvement, some others have proposed that the strength of a naturalized metaphysics is determined by how modality is assessed: the stronger natural necessities are, the more naturalistic the metaphysics is. However, such an understanding is at odds with some current naturalistic projects such as Super-Humeanism&nbsp;since modality does not appear at the very fundamental level of reality. Despite the differences between these several structural and naturalist ontologies, modality has nonetheless become a very salient topic in the current research.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The participants at the conference will attempt to address methodological and specific questions on the relation between scientific modality and naturalized metaphysics. Some of these questions include: What is the exact relation between scientific modality and naturalistic involvement? If a metaphysical position excludes natural necessities at the most fundamental level of reality, is there any possibility for this position to be naturalistic? Is there any place for structural modalities in laws of nature debate? How is modality assessed in different interpretations of quantum mechanics, and which interpretation is the best for a plausible version of naturalized metaphysics?&nbsp;</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/69190[ March 21, 2019 - March 24, 2019] Conference or similar: CAREP conference March 21-24, 2019: Why The Kyoto School Today?https://philevents.org/event/show/67622

<p>The work of the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy spans across dozens of books and hundreds of articles, addressing virtually every possible topic of philosophical interest as well as the major figures of the modern intellectual tradition. This interdisciplinary conference aims to provide a platform to take stock of this ever-growing body of work, reflecting on its significance in terms of how it allows us to bring into view or address certain contemporary challenges, whether these are intellectual, cultural, political or religious. We hope to facilitate a fruitful exchange of current research as well as providing an opportunity for both established and aspiring scholars of Nancy&rsquo;s thought to meet one another.&nbsp;To this end, we invite contributions from post-graduate students and early career researchers that engage with Nancy in this way. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to:&nbsp;</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Nancy and the crisis of philosophy</em>: What is the status of philosophy? What is its genre? How does philosophy relate to other modes of reflection (theology, science, or literature and the arts)? What should be the role of the intellectual today?&nbsp;</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Nancy and intellectual history</em>: How does Nancy draw on the giants of the history of thought? Are there any authors or movements he ignores unduly? What makes his readings distinctive? How does he relate to the various movements of contemporary philosophy (e.g. speculative realism or phenomenology&rsquo;s theological turn)?&nbsp;</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Nancy on the contemporary world, our present culture and socio-political condition</em>: What is &lsquo;the West&rsquo; today? What has happened to reason? And what about (our) humanity? What does it mean to think the death of God? How are we to think a fragmentary, though globalised world? How do we understand his thinking of community today?&nbsp;</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Nancy on theology, religion and spirituality</em>: Why deconstruct Christianity? What is the value of this approach for contemporary theology? How may it be applied to Christian doctrine? How does Nancy relate to various theologians (Bultmann, Kierkegaard, de Lubac, Caputo, Milbank, etc.)? What does it mean to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Nancy on the arts, the body and affectivity</em>:&nbsp;&nbsp;How has Nancy engaged with the arts over the course of his career (perhaps most notably film and dance)? How does this tie into his thinking of the body and touch?&nbsp;</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Engagement with Nancy</em>: How and why has Nancy been read over the years? What has his influence been (Agamben, Derrida, Marion, Denis, etc.)? What does he give us to think today?</p>

<p>Traditionally, epistemologists have investigated the nature of epistemic properties (e.g. knowledge, belief and understanding) on the assumption that they apply to human individuals and to human individuals only.&nbsp;Meanwhile technology and social collaboration are playing an increasingly large role in scientific practice, and our conceptual tools are lagging behind in taking this into account. Recent discussions in social epistemology have taken seriously the question whether epistemic properties may be suitably attributed (to a lesser or equal extent) to entities other than human individuals, such as groups (collective epistemology), artefacts (android epistemology) or individuals in conjunction with &ldquo;external&rdquo; components (extended epistemology). Developments in other fields (e.g. work in cognitive science on distributed, artificial and extended cognition respectively) seem to support an affirmative answer and provide useful perspectives for (social) epistemology and philosophy of science to account for epistemic practices beyond the individual. So far these developments have only to a very limited extent influenced the epistemology literature.</p>
<p><strong>OBJECTIVE of the WORKSHOP:</strong></p>
<p>It is time to take a closer look at the &ldquo;epistemic subject&rdquo; as an explanatory concept and how it may fare in explaining entities beyond individuals. Taking into account not only perspectives from social epistemology, but from philosophy of science, philosophy of mind and cognitive science, the objective of the workshop will be to reflect upon the idea of epistemic subjects beyond human individuals - namely, the possibility of attributing understanding, knowledge or beliefs to collective, extended or artificial subjects as well as how to conceptualise them. Special regard will be given to collective understanding (i.e. understanding that is embodied rather than embedded in groups), as this topic is largely unexplored while still closely connected to existing discussions in the aforementioned disciplines. The range of topics will include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Collective understanding, epistemic abilities, and distributed cognition</li>
<li>Collective knowledge, and collective know-how</li>
<li>The nature and demarcation of epistemic agency</li>
<li>Relations between epistemic properties of the group and its members: kinds of non-summativism, emergence and reducibility-relations</li>
<li>Extended epistemology and extended cognition</li>
<li>Android epistemology and artificial cognition</li>
</ul>

Publication Name: Special issue on Kantian studies in the Nordic countries<br /><br /><p>There has been an enduring interest in Immanuel Kant&rsquo;s (1724&ndash;1804) philosophy in the Nordic countries. Scholars from these countries have explored a wide range of topics from Kant&rsquo;s metaphysics and aesthetics to moral and political philosophy. The first Swedish translations of Kant&rsquo;s works appeared already during Kant&rsquo;s lifetime, and the beginning of the current century has seen new translations of Kant&rsquo;s works to Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish.</p>
<p>The purpose of this special issue is to present cutting edge new work on Kant in the Nordic countries. Contributions are welcomed by scholars based in Nordic academic institutions, working in any field related to Kant&rsquo;s philosophy. Authors are invited to contribute original, unpublished articles of 6000&ndash;8000 words, accompanied with an abstract. The article should be written in English, but the abstract should be provided in English and in one of the languages of the Nordic region.</p>
<p>The deadline for the submissions is March 31, 2019. The submissions go through blind review and the authors will be notified of acceptance of their paper in 2019. The special issue will be published in the spring 2020. Please send your manuscript to the following e-mail address: <a href="mailto:contextoskantianos@gmail.com">contextoskantianos@gmail.com</a> (Please indicate in the subject line: Kant in the Nordic countries.) </p>

Venue: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences<br /><br /><p>Croatian Philosophical Society and the Department of Philosophy at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Split are organizing the international and interdisciplinary symposium <em>XIIIth</em> <em>Mediterranean Roots of Philosophy. </em><em>Man is the measure of all things &ndash; Protagoras, on the 2500th anniversary of his birth</em>, which will take place from April 4 to April 6 2019 in the conference<em> </em>hall of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Poljana kraljice Jelene 1/III (Peristil), Split. Croatia.</p>
<p>The Mediterranean is the cradle of <strong>western philosophy</strong> and science which, together with the Mediterranean heritage of <strong>Hebrew-Christian religious</strong> tradition sets the foundations of Western European culture and civilization. Western philosophy and science begin their historical development at the start of 6th century BC on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean sea, specifically in Asia Minor, in the Greek colonies of Miletus and Ephesus and surrounding islands; it then spreads to Elea and Sicily and reaches its peak in Athens, one of the centers of ancient Mediterranean. Later development of <strong>ancient philosophy</strong>, from Hellenism to the medieval epoch, through new intellectual centers of Alexandria, Antioch, Carthage and Rome is also crucially related to the Mediterranean. Creation, conflict and mutual permeation of Mediterranean cultures, a distinctive <strong>Mediterranean multiculturalism</strong> gave an essential mark to the future growth of philosophy in the West. Ancient Greece and Rome, the Hellenistic-Roman heritage, Byzantine world, Oriental Arabic traditions with the mark of the new religion of Islam all blend into Muslim Arabic medieval philosophy, culture and civilization. The Byzantines introduced the Arabs to Greek philosophy, and they, through the mediation of the Crusades and the work of its leading philosophers Avicenna, Averroes and Ibn Haldun returned the forgotten legacy of Aristotelian philosophy back to Europe.<strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p>The next aspect relevant to the topics of the symposium refers to the<strong> foundation of Croatian philosophy</strong> which, both in its beginnings and on its zenith, has its roots in the Mediterranean part of its multiregional cultural identity. Starting with Hermann of Dalmatia, continuing through Marko Maruli&aelig; and Matija Vla&egrave;i&aelig; Ilirik (Matthias Flacius Illyricus), Frane Petri&aelig; (Franciscus Patricius) and Ru&eth;er Bo&scaron;kovi&aelig; (Roger Joseph Boscovich), to mention only the most significant figures.</p>
<p>Third set of themes congenial to the idea of this symposium relates to the philosophical and interdisciplinary reflection of the <strong>peculiarities of the Mediterranean multicultural space</strong> which gave birth to the current inter-civilizational tensions threatening to escalate into the clash of civilizations, but also open the possibility of dialogue and reconciliation. That situation naturally suggests the following set of questions discussed at the symposium:</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do the Mediterranean roots of philosophy influence the origin and development of the contemporary philosophy of the Mediterranean?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Philosophical reflection of the Mediterranean multiculturalism</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Incentives of the Mediterranean philosophy for the establishment of <strong>global ethos</strong> as a prerequisite of inter-civilizational dialogue</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Philosophy of the Mediterranean as a globalization paradigm</p>
<p>This year, according to relatively reliable sources, we mark <strong>2500 years since the birth of Protagoras of Abdera</strong>, the famous pre-Socratic philosopher, who inaugurated a new anthropological period of Greek philosophy with his most famous statement: "Man is the measure of all things: of the things that are, that they are, of the things that are not, that they are not." Protagoras and Socrates led philosophy out of esoteric expert groups to the agora &ndash; the passionate public sphere. The Sophistic movement that Protagoras led is remembered for its detrimental effects, such as demagogy, and its superficial and voluntaristic relativism, but also for its progressive contribution to ancient enlightenment and education for democratic citizenship. In addition to the above-listed traditional topics on the Mediterranean roots of philosophy, we believe that the dedication of this year's symposium to Protagoras' anthropocentrism will inspire participants to include in their contributions, among other things, the issues of Mediterranean antiquity and Renaissance as well as modern multicultural humanism, which was a general theme of the latest XXIV World Congress of Philosophy, under the title &ldquo;Learning To Be Human,&rdquo; held in Beijing in August 2018.</p>
<p><strong>The conference fee </strong>for the symposium is<strong> 50&euro;, </strong>which includes<strong> </strong>conference materials, coffee breaks, the book of abstracts and calls for publication (free of charge, double peer-review)<strong>. </strong>Proof of payment<strong> </strong>and<strong> certificate of participation </strong>given during the conference.</p>

<p><strong>Main problematics of the workshop.</strong></p>
<p>The distinction between &ldquo;thing&ndash;in&ndash;itself vs. phenomenon&rdquo; is the cornerstone of Kantian transcendental philosophy. This distinction changes the boundary between objective and subjective and suggests development of the new transcendental metaphysics (ontology) and theory of consciousness, and transcendental shift from studying objects to studying &ldquo;our mode of cognition&rdquo;, which is postulated in fragment [CPR, В25],&nbsp; states the new transcendental method of research and epistemology.</p>
<p><strong>Format of the workshop</strong>: there will be several thematic plenary and sectional sessions. During plenary there will be 1-2 main talks (report and supplementary report) and also several speeches, and then general discussion will be held.

Venue: 111 E Pearson St<br /><br /><p>The thought of the Jesuit philosopher, theologian, and jurist Francisco Su&aacute;rez (1548-1617) is rooted in medieval scholastic philosophy, but his influence reaches into the early modern period.

<p>Veganism as a subject has increasingly been featured in the media. The Guardian, The New York Times and other prominent media outlets write about veganism more and more often due to the increase in the number of people who identify as vegan. According to polls, in the US only 1% of the population identified as vegan in 2014, while that number rises to 6% in 2017. According to Google, search for the term &ldquo;vegan&rdquo; via their search engine has risen by 660% since 2011. Having taken these, as well as many other indications of the rise in popularity of veganism into account, we arrive at the conclusion that academia should also comment on, analyze and offer insights about this phenomenon. We want to approach veganism through a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary lens, from various relevant perspectives, chiefly a philosophical (i.e. conceptual, ethical, political, ontological, and epistemological), economic, sociological, psychological, anthropological, biological, medicinal, legal and theological or religious perspective.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We hope to approach the subject of veganism scientifically, analyze it as a social and ethical phenomenon, a worldview and a political movement. We will aim to elaborate on its goals, strategies, and potential in modern political discourse. The subject can be approaches in many distinct ways:</p>
<p>Through the lens of social injustice, which entails the problem of animals as apolitical beings within political discourse and potential holders of rights without reciprocal moral and legal obligations.</p>
<p>Through the activist dimension of veganism primarily concerned with diet. An important aspect are health considerations, such as switching to a plant-based diet to avoid heart disease and stroke, some types of cancer and diabetes, as well as avoiding antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can result from a diet that includes meat, due to certain practices in the meat industry. We want to examine claims of correlation between a vegan diet and lower incidence of said diseases and contrary claims of vegan diet not being able to satisfy the nutritive requirements of the human body. It may also be informative to consider the interests of pharmaceutical companies in maintaining the status quo when it comes to dietary habits, due to the profit-oriented nature of capitalist institutions.</p>
<p>Through a related perspective on the meat industry as regards workers&rsquo; rights. Badly paid or even unpaid slaughterhouse workers are often immigrants, sometimes even the victims of human trafficking. The job entails a high risk of bodily harm, and, since the human mind does not easily cope with the level of violence inherent in the job, such workers often develop psychological conditions, of which the most common by far is PTSD. On the other hand, many argue that widespread adoption of a vegan diet may spell ruin for many farmers and small business owners and that the subsidies for meat and dairy industries need to remain on economic grounds.</p>
<p>Through the lens of ecology. Problems such as deforestation caused by monocultural farming of plants used as food for cattle, wasting water, creating &ldquo;holes&rdquo; in the ocean by dumping the excrement of cattle, overfishing, degradation of arable land, releasing CO2 and methane and many others can be related to the choice to go vegan. However, some ecologists argue the opposite, that cattle-rearing has the potential to sequester CO2 content in the atmosphere, and that reforestation may be achieved with only a reduction in meat consumption.</p>
<p>In addition to these approaches, an interesting analysis may be reached by examining how meat is connected to masculinity in advertising: commercials display attractive women with meat, cows in make-up, cows, pigs and chicken in high heels, which are ready for male consumption, just like the objectified attractive women in all other commercials.</p>
<p>Veganism, though fundamentally a basic idea, entails a great number of problems and potential solutions which remain unexamined. The goal of this interdisciplinary conference is to provide those interested in the subject a platform to present their ideas, data and arguments, as well as test their own assumptions among people who, broadly speaking, share a common interest, test the strength of their arguments for veganism, as well as the strength of their criticisms and competing systems. This interdisciplinary conference is intended for all those who want to discuss veganism philosophically and scientifically, mainly by way of arguing for or opposing the acceptance of a vegan diet by the general population as a way of resolving serious social and ecological problems, but also by way of discussing different conceptions of veganism itself as they are articulated in various vegan communities.</p>
<p>Suggested topics:</p>
<p>- Possible strategies for creating a vegan utopia</p>
<p>- Plans for a vegan utopia: vegan futurology and lifestyle</p>
<p>- Potential for a vegan criticism of capitalism</p>
<p>- Veganism in religion: existing traditions and potentials</p>

<p>- Animal rights: between animal freedom and animal welfare</p>
<p>- Lobbying industries which provide animal-derived products in schools</p>
<p>- Influence of various interests on the illusion of meat being healthy</p>
<p>- Veganism and communism, anarchism, capitalism, nationalism, Nazism&hellip;</p>
<p>- Discrimination against vegans in public kitchens</p>
<p>- Exploitation of animals through a feminist lens</p>
<p>- Commercialization of animals through a feminist lens</p>
<p>- Workers&rsquo; rights in the meat industry</p>
<p>- Stigmatization of vegans in modern society</p>
<p>- How justified is the comparison to slavery and the Holocaust?</p>
<p>- Question of the ontological difference between humans and non-human animals</p>
<p>- Speciesism: critique od the phenomenon and of the very term</p>
<p>- Moral status of animals</p>
<p>- Benign carnivorous diets</p>
<p>- Defining the concept of veganism</p>
<p>- Radical ecological movements: deep ecology, dark ecology, anarchoprimitivism, social ecology, bioregionalism, ecofeminism</p>
<p>- Utilitarianism of preferences and the problem of experimenting upon animals</p>
<p>- Possibility of a deontological ethical foundation for protecting and/or freeing the animals</p>
<p>- Plant-based diets vs. omnivorous diets vs. pure carnivorous diets &ndash; a comparison of the benefits and the drawbacks in the search of the optimal diet</p>
<p>- (Un)sustainability of a meat-based diet in capitalism</p>
<p>- Environmental and animal-friendly aesthetics for green architecture</p>

Venue: Ardahan University Yenisey Campus<br /><br /><p>Although, for modern societies, the term &ldquo;myth&rdquo; stands for a tale, an untrue story, a legend, a superstition etc., for archaic societies who existed prior to written culture, myths were narrations of &ldquo;the ultimate origin of reality&rdquo; and, in that respect, they were not tales but true stories based on Reality.[1]&nbsp;Therefore, a great philosopher like Plato appealed to&nbsp;<em>muthos&nbsp;</em>as a pedagogical means for telling his views through the Dialogues. On the other hand, along with the transition from&nbsp;<em>mythopoetic&nbsp;</em>thought to cosmological arguments, an irreversible diffraction occurred in the history of ideas, and philosophy parted ways with mythos for a certain while.[2]&nbsp;Centuries later, however, many theorists in both clinical psychology and contemporary philosophy made use of the myth as a symbolic means of expression and pioneered a &ldquo;mythic-turn&rdquo; in the social sciences. This fact indicates that mythology remains an essential area of interest for humanities like philosophy and psychology. This is also the case for the disciplines of sociology and socio-cultural anthropology, whose practices developed within the framework of rituals, myths, customs and traditions, indicating that myth and mythology have pervaded into daily life, that they have turned into a reference guide, sometimes due to their guiding spirit and sometimes by being a tool for social control.</p>
<p>Throughout historical and cultural processes, human beings have attributed divine meanings to the factors influencing them. By attributing such meanings to natural forces that were superior to them, humans also adopted the habit of symbolization. Furthermore, depending on the geographic and cultural context they were in, humans developed solutions for inexplicable events and/or situations such as illnesses. To specify, humans sought for genuine solutions by means of the daily practices they structured around the myths and legends, which were transmitted to them through cultural heritage.</p>
<p>Legends and symbols are not discoveries that archaic people carried out on their own; rather, they are the products of a cultural whole that is well limited, kneaded and transmitted by some societies. In this way, some of these creations spread to lands far away from their own root-soils, becoming absorbed by the local people of those lands who would not recognize these elements otherwise.[3]</p>
<p>As the interaction between literature and mythology is at stake, a similar picture confronts us in this domain.&nbsp; Myths of several cultures have been shaping modern literary texts, and the characters in these myths have been creating modern stereotypes. The world where the mythological characters of ancient Greece and Rome belong may seem exaggerated for the modern reader. However, when the historical journey of literature is considered, it is understood that myths, initially, provided an inspiration for tragedies. Just like the fates of tragic heroes, the fates of mythical characters are full of circumstances that point towards a &ldquo;moral.&rdquo; From this perspective, it is undeniable that mythology is an essential reference for modern literature.</p>
<p>Within the literary world, almost all writers apply myths, mythical characters and related&nbsp;<em>archetypes&nbsp;</em>that then become woven within the collective unconscious as a means for their literary narrative element for various purposes. Thus, it is difficult to understand&nbsp;<em>Ulysses</em>by James Joyce, who is one of the most prominent writers of English literature, or&nbsp;<em>Oedipa Maas</em>&nbsp;by the American author Thomas Pynchon without the knowledge of classical mythology. As is obvious, mythology plays a crucial and central role in shaping and constructing literary genres, fiction and the relation of characters.</p>
<p>Without the knowledge of mythology and iconography, art history could not be comprehended, nor could art criticism be carried out. Today, mythology is the primary source to which one appeals in order to interpret the works of art ranging from the hunting scenes on the walls of Lascaux to the masterpieces of the Renaissance and the products of eminent artists of various genres from primitivism to cubism.</p>
<p>Certainly, the dance of mythology with other sciences cannot be limited to the abovementioned disciplines and areas. Myths and mythological systems have a peculiar role for each discipline associated with the humanities and social sciences. Based on this fact, as young academicians, we have decided to organize a worldwide symposium and, by doing so, we desire to bring together academicians and students from all areas of study including philosophy, sociology, anthropology, literature, psychology, art history and the fine arts provided that their papers are in direct relation to the theme of the symposium.</p>

Venue: Bush House, South East wing<br /><br /><p>Prof.&nbsp;Andrew Bacon&nbsp;(USC) will give a masterclass on&nbsp;<em>Higher-Order&nbsp;Metaphysics</em>&nbsp;at King&rsquo;s College London on May 8th-10th, 2019. The masterclass will include guest talks by&nbsp;Nick Jones&nbsp;(Birmingham),&nbsp;Jessica Leech&nbsp;(KCL), and&nbsp;Timothy Williamson&nbsp;(Oxford).</p>
<p>The event is open to&nbsp;graduate students and researchers from any institution.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Presentation</strong></p>
<p>Some central questions of metaphysics revolve around propositions, properties and relations and around how they interact with modality: What does it mean for a necessity to be broader than another? Is there such a thing as a broadest necessity? what does it mean for a property or relation to be fundamental?&nbsp;Are&nbsp;fundamental properties and relations `freely recombinable&rsquo; in the sense that they can instantiate any logically&nbsp;consistent&nbsp;pattern?&nbsp;Are propositions structured entities constructed out of fundamental properties and relations? &nbsp; More generally, to what extent can we make good on the metaphor of reality as a language, and the corresponding metaphor of the fundamental as the primitive constants of that language?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unfortunately, debates on such questions are often formulated in ways that are prone to lead to paradoxes. Higher-order logic is a precise framework for regimenting such debates. It is a generalization of first-order logic that allows one to quantify not just into singular position but into&nbsp;any given grammatical position. It allows one to replace quantification over propositions, properties and modalities by quantification into sentence, predicate or operator position. Higher-order logic&nbsp;is often studied in a broadly Fregean setting &nbsp;which in effect assumes that there are only two propositions. Once this assumption is lifted&nbsp;there are a surprising number of choice&nbsp;points regarding the logic and model theory of higher-order logic, corresponding to a number of different metaphysical pictures of the granularity of properties and propositions.&nbsp;Many of the technical tools in this area have been developed by computer scientists and category theorists but aren&rsquo;t widely known to philosophers.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This masterclass will present these ideas in a way that is accessible to philosophers, and tailored to their concerns. The first half of the series will cover general technical machinery needed for modelling higher-order logic. The second half we will apply these tools to the metaphysical questions raised above.</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/68362[ May 10, 2019 - May 12, 2019] Conference or similar: Fourth Belgrade Graduate Conference in Philosophyhttps://philevents.org/event/show/69266

Venue: 51 Lenin St<br /><br /><p>The conference aims to examine the philosophical difficulties in modal logic and the application of modal logic to the wide range of philosophical problems. We will focus on the higher-order modal logics, the difficulties appearing while quantifying into modal contexts, and the problem of identity across possible worlds. The other themes include developing semantics with modal operators, vagueness operator, and supervaluationism, the role of modal assumptions in science as well as intensional paradoxes.</p>

Publication Name: Eidos. A Journal for Philosophy of Culture: Open CFP<br /><br /><p>&ldquo;Eidos. A Journal for Philosophy of Culture&rdquo; invites, on a continuous basis, all highquality papers which address topics relevant for philosophy of culture. Contemporary culture can be characterized as highly complex, dynamic if not aporetic: as a realm of ever changing conceptual and axiological frameworks, and of plural or even competing meanings. In this perspective, what is needed is constantly renewed philosophical reflection, which not only addresses but also interprets and makes sense of different cultural processes. For philosophy of culture itself demands (perhaps, more than ever before) a form of deepened meta-reflection, which confront the problems of its essence, methods, and a role it should play. Therefore, we welcome both: original analyses of contemporary cultural phenomena and methodological considerations on the current status of philosophy of culture and its relations to other philosophical disciplines as well as to the humanities in general.</p>
<p>All essays should be submitted as an e-mail attachment to: eidos.ed@uw.edu.pl.</p>
<p>Essays have to be previously unpublished and they cannot be under consideration for publication elsewhere. They should be prepared for a double-blind review process. Please, make sure that your paper complies with our submission standards which are posted here:&nbsp;http://eidos.uw.edu.pl/submissions/&nbsp;Calls for papers to the thematic sections of each issue will be announced on regular basis.</p>
<p>Eidos also accepts discussion papers and book reviews engaging with important contemporary philosophical discussions. Discussion papers and book reviews are not subject to peer review, but undergo an internal editorial review process instead.&nbsp;</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/67850
